JAINHITS attains BIS certification for its set top boxes

Company is the only HITS (head-ends in the sky) platform based service in India

JAINHITS, India’s only HITS (headends in the sky) platform based service in India, has attained the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification for its set top boxes. Motorola is the end to end technology partner providing end-to-end networks solution, including video core solutions, access network solutions and customer premises solutions (set-top-boxes). 

 

This certification is in line with the Department of Electronics and Information Technology's recent mandate where all imported as well as locally manufactured electronic goods across 15 categories need to comply with BIS’ quality benchmarks. 

 

The ruling has been brought into effect owing to the increasing demand for electronic goods in India and includes product ranges from set top box laptops to tablets, and TV sets to microwave ovens. With this outline, all such products will need to be BIS-compliant for sale, manufacture or importing in the country.

 

Devinder Singh, head- regulatory and corporate affairs, NSTPL said, “Any Certification by itself is a tedious and time taking process. Where the aspect of human safety is required it becomes all the more tedious. It not only involves monetary expenditure at various stages, but also requires time and extensive documentation, testing both in-house & various International Certification agencies like "CE", "UL" etc.”

 

The equipments presently requiring BIS certification for import or manufacturing in India need to be tested by government recognized laboratories for meeting all standards including safety and transmission. Besides BIS certified, subscribers would get to choose from SD and HD quality, MPEG4 STBs
